With just a few weeks to go until the final of Strictly Come Dancing, we’ve all been tuning in to see how the celebs fair with their footwork each week. However, hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly have also been stealing the spotlight with their weekly outfits, and this week was no exception.
For Saturday November 9’s episode, Claudia wore a gorgeous black satin midi dress that had her fans going wild. Both Claudia and her stylist Sinead McKeefry shared photos of Claudia in her dress, Sinead revealing that the dress was actually a pre-loved piece designed by Victoria Beckham which she’d gotten from Amazon’s Luxury Store.

The comments were flooded with people admiring the slinky satin midi dress, with one writing: “This might be my favourite dress so far” whilst another agreed: “Another fantastic dress.”
As Claudia hadn’t revealed any details of her outfit, people were begging to know where to get the dress, writing: “This dress is stunning, where is it from?” and “Where is dress from please? Beautiful.”
As Sinead explained, she’d managed to track down the satin gown from Amazon’s Luxury Store, which features thousands of designer items from both well-known and emerging designers. Some pieces are pre-loved, or fall into the Hardly Ever Worn It section, whilst others are brand new and sold directly from the designers.

As well as clothes, you can pick up accessories like handbags, shoes, sunglasses and jewellery, as well as beauty essentials like makeup and skincare
Although this can make it tricky to track down specific items, it does mean you can end up nabbing some amazing bargains. Some pre-loved designer pieces are slashed by hundreds – sometimes thousands – of pounds when compared to their original retail price.
We weren’t able to track down the exact Victoria Beckham dress Claudia was wearing, but there are some other great options on the Amazon Luxury Store, like this figure-hugging black midi dress from Victoria Beckham which is available for £255. Considering usually VB’s dresses retail for around £900, this is a major saving.
Alternatively, if you want an almost identical Victoria Beckham dress of your own, you can still buy this Panelled Midi Dress for £990 from Harvey Nichols – and you’ll even get an automatic 25% discount at checkout.
For more budget friendly alternatives to Claudia’s dress, this COS Batwing-Sleeve Satin Shift Dress, £110, has a slightly more relaxed fit whilst keeping the same satin finish and maxi length, making it super versatile. Wear it with everything from trainers and sandals to heels and boots to see you through any occasion.
Finally, Karen Millen has its own version of the dress with a slim-fitting bodice and skirt, long sleeves and a fitted bust, making it a classic elegant evening dress. Plus, the Satin Back Crepe Long Sleeved Column Woven Midaxi Dress is now on sale, down from £119 to £71.40.
Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for more amazing outfits from both Claudia and Tess when Strictly returns on BBC for the results show on Sunday 10 November.
